The evolution of the electronic absorption edge of type I, II and III kerogen is studied by diffuse reflectance UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. The functional form of the electronic absorption edge for all kerogens measured is in excellent agreement with the Urbach tail phenomenology. The Urbach decay width extracted from the exponential fit within the visible range is strongly correlated with the aliphatic/aromatic ratio in isolated kerogen, regardless of the kerogen type. No correlation is found between the decay width and the average size of aromatic clusters, which is explained in terms of a non-linear increase in optical absorption with increasing size of the aromatic clusters determined by 13C NMR. Further, absorption spectra calculated with density functional theory calculations on proxy ensemble models of kerogen are in excellent agreement with the experimental results. The correlation of the decay width with conventional maturity indicators such as vitrinite reflectance is found to be good within a particular kerogen type, but not consistent across different kerogen types, reflecting systematic variations in bulk composition for different type kerogen types with the same vitrinite reflectance. Thus, diffuse reflectance visible absorption spectroscopy is presented as a rapid, calibrated and non-destructive method to monitor both the maturity and the chemical composition of kerogen. The chemical insight of kerogen in relation to its optical absorption provided by this methodology may serve for rapid screening of kerogen for electronics and optical devices in place of functionalized produced carbon.
The electronic wavefunctions of an atom or molecule are affected by its interactions with its environment. These interactions dictate electronic and optical processes at interfaces, and is especially relevant in the case of thin film optoelectronic d
In this paper we study the effect of absorption peak correlation in finite length carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons. It is shown, in the orthogonal {pi}-orbital tight-binding model with the nearest neighbor approximation, that if the ribbon w
